@Karen Maisie also had the laprascopic spay and didn't need a cone. Three tiny holes, which were glued. She was back to her normal self once the GA had worn off.
Just a week Karen, but my it was hard work, she wanted to go for her normal run. We did let her off in our garden, but Fred was not with her when we did this, or they would of run around like mad things. She just walked around and had a good sniff.
